PCM Synth Tone (PCMS) – WAVE tab
50
Parameter Value Explanation
Portamento Time 0–127
When portamento is used, this species the time over which the pitch will change. Higher settings
will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more time.
WAVE tab
Partial Switch OFF, ON Used to specify whether partial 1–4 will be used (ON) or not used (OFF).
Wave Group
INT,
SRX01–SRX12
(only if an expansion is loaded)
Selects the group for the waveform that is to be the basis of the partial.
INT: Waveforms stored in internal
SRX01–SRX12: Expansion sound banks
Wave No.L (Mono)
OFF, 1–
Selects the basic waveform for a tone. Along with the Wave number, the Wave name appears at the
lower part of the display.
When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specied. When in stereo, the right side (R) is also
specied.
NOTE
If you specify only the right side (R), there will be no sound.
Wave No.R
Wave Gain -6, 0, +6, +12 [dB]
Sets the gain (amplication) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) steps—an
increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain. If you intend to use the Booster to distort the
waveform’s sound, set this parameter to its maximum value (p. 53).
Wave Tempo Sync OFF, ON
When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), set this to “ON.”
This is valid only when an SRX waveform which indicates a tempo (BPM) is selected.
(Example: SRX05 3:080:BladeBtL, SRX08 5:75:BoomRvBel, etc.)
If a waveform from an SRX is selected for the partial, turning the Wave Tempo Sync parameter
“ON” will cause pitch-related settings and FXM-related settings to be ignored.
When the Wave Tempo Sync is set to “ON,” set the Partial Delay Time (p. 51) to “0.”
With other settings, a delay eect will be applied, and you will be not be able to play as you expect.
Phrase Loop
“Phrase” loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase that’s been pulled out of a song (e.g., by
using a sampler). One technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of a Phrase
from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example dance music, and then creating a new
song with that Phrase used as the basic motif. This is referred to as “Break Beats.”
FXM Switch OFF, ON
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
FXM
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specied waveform to apply frequency modulation to
the currently selected waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic
sounds or sound eects.
FXM Color 1–4
Species how FXM will perform frequency modulation.
Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic sound.
FXM Depth
0–16
Species the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
* You can use matrix control to modify this.
